    Very special album for many reason. Firstly it is RM’s debut album so I was very excited to finally hear Indigo. It did not disappoint and I am in awe of his artistry. An artist like Namjoon comes only once in a lifetime what an icon! To lead BTS to stardom and now releasing this increíble body of work it is beyond inspiring.

    ESSE ÁLBUM É GENIAL. Namjoon conseguiu nos mostrar um outro lado de sua persona, Wild Flower é uma música profunda e muito tocante com seus altos e baixos, closer, lonely, yun e outras são completamente diferentes umas das outras e são muito gostosas de ouvir, principalmente Change pt.2

    One of the best albums that came out in 2022. Namjoon is known for his amazing lyricism and I, personally, feel like this album is the best example to prove just how great his lyricism is. Another thing about this album that makes it so special is all the other legends that feature in it. I loved each and every song so much and so proud of Namjoon for everything he has done!

    This album feels like RM's soul speaking directly to his audience. Showing various shades o his inner colors, his honesty is palpable. A poet who chose music to be the vehicle for his words, few musicians are as smart and profound as he is.
    It amazes me how an album with each song being from a different style of music can feel so cohesive sonically, cause every song shares a common DNA in

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Literally one of the best albums I've ever heard this decade lyrically, rythmically. Namjoon did an amazing job!!! This verse in wild flower is perfect, actually all if them are but this verse touched my heart the most:

    Yeah I been goin’, no matter what’s in front

    그게 뭐가 됐건 [dwaetgeon]
    No matter what it is

    새벽의 옷자락을 붙잡고 뭔가 토해내던 기억 [gieok]
    Memories of letting things out, grabbing the edge of dawn by its collar

    목소리만 큰 자들의 사회 [sahoe]
    The society that is for those with loud voice

    난 여전히 침묵을 말해 [malhae]
    And I still speak silence

    이건 방백 [bangbaek], 완숙한 돛단배 [dotdanbae]
    This is an aside, a sailboat that came to full maturity

    모든 오해 [ohae] 편견들에 닿게 [datge]
    To reach and face all the misunderstanding and prejudice

    Translation source: doolset lyrics And this verse of Hectic by RM is one if my favorites verses is this album too:

    Ay 행복이란 뭘까 [mwolkka]
    Ay, what would be happiness

    그토록 바래왔던 작은 평화 [pyeonghwa]
    The little bit of peace that we hope for so bad

    마음이 빛바랜 자들을 떠나 [tteona] Leaving those whose hearts lost colors behind,

    마침내 우리가 수놓은 별밤 [byeolbam]
    we finally embroider the night sky with stars

    Translation source: doolset lyrics I am so proud you of you Namjoon, your hard work is paying off amazingly!!!

Indigo is the archive of Namjoon's 20s this is not just an album it's his memories feelings and diaries every word carries a huge wheight lifted off his shoulders...for me personally the music i connect with the most is the one that takes me on a journey of emotions and images i felt that with every song of indigo the way it flows reflecting his soul and adding to that the color associated with this album with the image of "still life" it creares a unique masterpiece And when it comes to his lyrics he's simply a genius he always manage to bring in a new prespective and show us something so familiar like the "still life" in a very different light and that blows my mind Just like when he described the waves in "don't" his words just give me goosebumps
    Not so many artist have the effect that Namjoon has on me he makes my brain work in a different way his wordplay makes every song more and more interesting just like a painter adding layers and layers to the canvas when you hear it at first you get a certain feeling and once you read the lyrics it takes you deeper and then you get to understand all the hidden meaning and the stories behind every song losing the sense of time and place admiring the painting infront of you that change with every layer of the song Listening to indigo inspired me to look at art in a new perspective and appreciate Namjoon more and more i'm grateful that there is an artist that can make me feel so much and connect to their art to this level someone who can move my emotions and open my mind to so many different genres and interduce so many artists from different backgrounds in one album the diversity and art that he put in the album is insane and the most important thing that he was able to speak his truth and expand his discography to the range that it covers all the stories he wanted to tell and all the emotions he kept within him for the past 7 years i will always be grateful to be able to enjoy music again thanks to him thank you Namjoon

RM has truly connected with his soul to create this album, and as his official debut, he should be incredibly proud of the art he was created.

    This is an album that is truly timeless and will be enjoyed for generations to come. The main single 'Wild Flower' is a curious choice as it is over 4 minutes long and in almost all Korean, both aspects which would make most musicians hesistant to include let alone make the single, in this era of streaming and quick TikTok trends. But this just proves that music, and lyrics are what is at heart of RM's artistry. A stark difference in what we see nowadays. A special mention should be given to Change Pt.2, a personal favourite. A rollercoaster of emotion, the different dynamic and vibe to the rest of the album, it is refreshing and also leaves you wanting more.

    RM has already made his mark in the music world but with Indigo, he cements his place as a true virtuoso in music.

    Every collab in this album has a reason, they are all connected to the stories RM wanted to tell from his 20s. The album starts with how an artist first needs to live, and be a human to create art, using legendary Erykah Badu to convey the message more convincingly, a person who has been through more and carries that belief in her life as an artist.

The album starts with how an artist first needs to live, and be a human to create art, using legendary Erykah Badu to convey the message more convincingly, a person who has been through more and carries that belief in her life as an artist. Then it has many questionings, many things he wants to do, many disappointments and decisions he makes in the middle. They are conveyed in a way like he is thinking to himself, he is trying to decide or undecide like in a conflict. Which becomes even more apparent with the title track; Wildflower, the 9th track. The song starts with conclusion, and then the journey to the conclusion is given to the listeners. Just like how the album started with "being a human before making art", in this song too RM is trying to be human, and wants to get rid of the greed and unending desires fame brings. And while the shows he gives as BTS may seem like "fireworks" impressive but dying out quickly, he says he wants to bloom underneath all the sparkles like wildflowers, slowly, under his control only. Which is something BTS has always shared, creating a legacy and growing as humans and artists first, so this message is not surprising to fans. This desire explodes in RM cos of all the blabbering happening around him whether it be industry people or netizens or anyone else, and this explosion is given to the listeners with the powerful forceful voice of Youjeen, the lead vocalist of legendary rock band from Korea; Cherry Filter. Hearing the journey to this conclusion may feel bittersweet, the ending only brings bliss and hope for the future.
    So the album has an extra conclusion made by RM, shared with us in the last track; No.2 which the name comes from "chapter 2" as in moving forward. He decides he won't be looking back and wondering if he should have made different choices, if he could have done better, or if he could have done less mistakes... He decides this version of his life and himself is the best he could get just like in "Doctor Strange" as he tells his fans, and he brings another legendary sound from Korea, Park Ji Yoon; another senior to convey the message "you will protect yourself from now on, dont look back anymore, you've done your best" in a way a senior comforts a younger artist.
    Last two tracks concludes the album with "I will stay me, and i will keep moving forward only". A rare statement you can get from an artist these days especially with them sharing the real journey with this level of sincerity.
    In its totality; the album has 10 different genres from folk, r&b, to pop, city pop to rock... He always gives the song what it needs naturally with no forceful sounds. He is a poet at heart, that is how he started and this album demonstrated is perfectly. And because he is the owner of all the messages in this album, he knows how each of them should be delivered which i think it is one of the reasons this album has moments that can be so relatable to a listener at some point in their lives, and become part of their lives comfortably like a "worn out jeans" as he says.
    I would like to give this album a 9.9 but it deserves a 10. I would want to give 9.9 because some are saying this album is "his masterpiece" and while this album is a masterpiece of an album 100%, I know deep down as RM being a person that always betters himself, always adds something to his views, ideas, techniques and pen... I know the best is still yet to come.

It's a piece of bop if you don't read the lyrics but it's actually dark. Makes you actually realise that it's a very lonely ride for these boys.

His story-telling ability is one to sit and studiously study, such is the pull you experience when you focus on his words.

    Indigo is an eye-opening taste of what RM is truly capable of outside the bounds of the K-pop powerhouse.
  2. 100
    It’s too early to tell if the record will help the BTS leader achieve his goal of creating something truly timeless but, in this moment, ‘Indigo’ feels like a masterpiece with the potential to be remembered as a classic.
  3. 60
    Some moments fall flat – Lonely is cloying, paint-by-numbers EDM-pop that doesn’t fully land. Still, Indigo is a polished collection that spans both pop and rap with confidence.
